Metallics 1512CB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 4 inch toggle bolt work on 5/8 inch drywall?
Yes, and with room to spare. The 1512CB's 4 inch bolt length only needs to cover the thickness of whatever you are hanging plus the wall board; anything left over simply sits inside the cavity. What matters more is the hole: a 1/4-20 toggle needs a bore large enough to pass the folded wings, and you need enough clear space behind the wall for them to open. Excess length is common with toggles and is not a problem as long as the cavity is deep enough.
2) Can I use these toggle bolts to hang electrical boxes and strut in a hollow wall?
That is the intended use. The 1512CB is stocked as an electrical fastener and toggle bolts are the standard hollow wall anchor for hanging boxes, small strut runs, cable tray supports and fixture backing where there is no stud to hit. The 1/4-20 thread takes standard 1/4 inch nuts, washers and channel hardware.
3) Is a toggle bolt the right anchor, or should I use a self drilling drywall anchor?
Use a toggle like the 1512CB when the load is real and the wall is hollow. Self drilling and plastic anchors grip only the face of the board and pull through under weight or vibration. A toggle puts a steel wing across the back of the board and spreads the load, which is why it is the usual choice for conduit supports, boxes and hanging fixtures. The tradeoff: you need a large clear hole and open cavity behind, and the wing is lost if you back the bolt all the way out.
4) Do I have to order the wings separately for the Metallics 1512CB?
No. Toggle bolts are supplied as a matched assembly, screw plus spring wing, and the 1512CB jar contains 250 of them at 1/4-20 by 4 inches. What is not included is anything you may want to spread the load on the fixture side, such as a flat washer.
5) What part number do I order for Metallics 1/4-20 by 4 inch toggle bolts?
Metallics part number 1512CB. It is a single model, 1/4-20 thread, 4 inch length, sold 250 to a jar, so there is nothing else to specify when ordering.
